On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

The most urgent problems facing the 52nd District are traffic congestion and excessive commute time. Increasing public transportation options and bringing more of our fair share of transportation dollars to Prince William County are the solutions. I will continue to work with our area transportation officials to explore various transportation options that will lead to reducing congestion and commute time for residents in the district.

Why should voters elect you?

Voters should reelect me because I will continue to represent their interests and work collaboratively to solve the problems facing our community.
